If you think pensions are complex and something to put off for another day, then this episode is probably for you.

In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, our host Iona Bain is joined by Tom Trennery from the Workplace Pensions team at L&G to recap the basics. Tom highlights how the choices we make about our pension savings now will impact the life we can live in later years.  

Tom breaks down why your workplace pension might actually be one of the easiest (and smartest) ways to build long-term wealth. And together, they unpack how it all works, from your contributions, your employer’s top ups (aka “free money”) and why tax perks make workplace pensions so powerful.

If you’ve not taken much notice of your workplace pension, this episode will help you feel more in control. Tom shares practical tips to help you boost your pension pot over time, without too much of an impact on your current lifestyle - and ultimately reminds us that making smart moves today will help you have the life you want tomorrow.
